Man yelling 'Where's the president?' assaults Secret Service officer outside the White House

A man assaulted and injured a U.S. Secret Service officer on patrol Saturday outside the White House, according to newly filed federal court documents, WRC-TV reported.

The man, identified only as "Carmona" in the court records, is accused of illegally parking his car along Pennsylvania Avenue, moving a security barrier that was in place for an immigration rally, and punching a Secret Service officer in the jaw and the left eye.

"Where is the president?" the man screamed at the officers who tried to stop him, according to an affidavit obtained by WRC.

The officer, who is identified only as "Officer Young" in the documents, suffered a knee injury and a possible concussion.

The assault occurred after the "Families Belong Together" immigration rally in Lafayette Park, according to the report.

What's happened?

Officers tried to stop the man for illegally parking his BMW. According to the affidavit, Carmona kicked two of officers who placed him in leg shackles after they took him to the ground, WRC reported.

"Carmona was placed under arrest for assaulting a federal law enforcement officer. While being placed under arrest, Carmona asked, 'Where is the president?'" the affidavit said. "He also stated to officers, ‘Just end it, just kill me.'"

It's not immediately clear whether Carmona had attended the rally.

What did the judge say?

A Washington, D.C., Superior Court judge ordered Carmona to undergo a forensic exam, according to WRC.

The judge also ordered the man to stay away from Officer Young, the White House grounds, and several streets in Northwest D.C.

What are the charges?

Authorities charged Carmona with assault of a federal law enforcement officer.
